LERA. eijnict Cursed with-Blessing's. " Cursed with blessings." I closed the page, and leaned.baelt in reflection. • • "Mere is /another paradox," said I. "Cursed with blessings! It is simply a contradiction iu terms. -What does the writer mean?" . . I turned to the page , a again,: and read on. There. is such a _thing_ as;:_betng cursed with blessings, so that the . earthly wed a wan seeks, shall become the great. est evil that can be visited upon hiin." Some gleams of light passed into my wind. Thought and memory went to work ; and soon around the proposition gathered a host of illustrating incidents. I remembered the case of a wan who, in early and 'riddle life, always, in family prayer, brought in the petition—"lncrease our basket and store." And the worldly good things he so much desired, came; came in rich abundance. lie added house to house, until his rents flowed back up on him, a princely Income. :But, his self ish heart made all his earthly blessings a curse. Like the miser, his life v as in his possessions; and wh6n anything threaten ed these, trouble of spirit arose. The dread of loss by fire, haunted him like a murderer's conscience. II e.insured ; but felt only half protected by insurance, for there were dishonest companies, flaws in, contracts, quibbles in the law. He Inidi suffered one loss in this way. It was 'not serious, but enough to break his faith in Insurance as a reliahle protection against fire. And so, every stroke of the alarm bell, by night or by day, gave a shock to his nerves, -and sent a pang of fear to his heart. Sweet, refreshing sleep. cecame a stranger to his pillow. The ghost of apprehension was forever by his side, a fearful vision. IMMM Then carne a morbid dread of poverty; and, atter a time, his day-dreams and fit. ful night-visions began to be of pauperism and the almshouse. At sixty he wasin sane, from this cause, and dictl, in the hallucination of abject want, leaving a Jitiodied :thousand dollars of. property, which passed to heirs, who made the bless-. ine a curse also, as he had dtine, but in another way.. In five years from his death, his two sins realized their father's fears,. and now fill pauper's graves. '"Cursed with blessings 1 Even so!" I I said, as memory closed the pigeon which this history was recorded. " Like the manna which the' children of Israel gath ered in the wilderness, life's. blessitms must be used to-day—if hoarded selfishly, they will not keep." Another illustration Memory gave. I knew a man who set his heart upon wealth, as a means of comfort in old age. -" lam wiling to work now," be used to say, " while I am young and vigorous; though business is distasteful to me. love ease and freedom, and for.the sake of gaining -them, I toil an in early manhood."' And while.he toiled on he -was com paratively happy." I can remember him as one of the most cheerful men in -my pirelo of aCquaintance. Dut competence rgwarded hi; labor - ere yet his sun of life - .114 swept beyond .the zenith, an.d. iiis " baiketand store" were full. - -His toil crowned him with blessings, And so lie retired from the busy World to enjoy these ►good things which had come to him ill ,tlc-3-11 ,i)etvitaoto.

He happened to be heir.at-low, and the relative dying with out a will, lte came most unexpectedly in to possession• of about thirty-five thbusaud dollars iu cash. He was a clerk, with a salary of one thousand-dollars a year, liv ing frugally with his wife and two chil dren ins small, rented house. Few men enjoyed life with a keener zest than this young man. But the fortune proved his ruin. The clerkship was at oncd given up fora business venture; the hired house for a haPdsume purchased dwelling; om nibus rides for drives in an el , :zant car riage; social ica companies for. elegant parties. His .csurse was made but brief. The blessing was made a curse. Soured, dissatisfied, maddened by a sud den fall from . the height up to which he had soared, away-. down into the valley of -abject poverty, lie lost self-respect and self-control.

We all, do it, when we let affection rest in mere natural and sensual things, instead of making these things ministers of the soul's high.er life. Worldly possessions are blessings, if acquired as a means to - useful ends; but they curse us, when we make them .our chiefest good.—Strps toward Heaven. Love a Wife and Care for a Wife. I wish every husband would copy into his memorandum book this sentence, from a recently published work : •" Women. must be constituted very differently from men. A. word said, a line written, and we are happy; omitted, our hearts ache, as if for a great misfortune. Men cannot feel it, or guess at it; if they did, the mot careless of them would be slow to wound us so." The grave bides many a heart, which has been .stung to death,' because one who tuight, after all-have loved it after a certain careless fashion, was deaf; dumb, and blind to the truth in the sentence we have just quoted, or, if not, was at least restive and impatient with regard' to if. Many men, marrying late in in life, being accustomed only 'to take care of them selves, and that in-the most erratic, ram bling. exciting fashion, eating, drinking, sleeping, and waking whenever their fan.: cy, or good cheer and amusement, ques tionable or unquestionable, prompted,' come at last, when 'they get:tired of this, with their selfish habits fixed as' fate, to matrimony. For 'awhile it is novelty. , Shortly, it is strange and • irksome, this way's'being obliged to consider the com fort and happiness of another. To have something always hanging on the arm, which used to string free, or, at most, but twirl a cane.

After multifarious orals ings upon the sea of plaiforins and argu ments, Mr. Douglas nasdat, last landed at the following point) "A slave," saysle, in his famous • Harper-Magazine article, "a islave, - witliin the, meaning - of the Con stitution, is a,person held to, service or labor in oue,State - , ynder gi,e. 4zuss flier's , af'—not under - the Constitution of the United States, or under tlielawa"tliereof„ nor, by •virtua of any' P,ederal anti:Milky ' whatever, but under theilaws oil* par~ 1 " tyro' , 5 ; t'A 1•1 - ~t v;Eri,Awurr, . .l.4ora' nure`'-' - - 1 / 4 , , ,,,zirzy...e ta i.- - 4 ,.....t. ~- . • ,- 4 ii , „r , - asli. t. 4l..M.Pa' --.° i; 7 y bit fj F - t-e-. , J, 4 • i t uogiratiklotii N ~ et- AmPA..firc!Reni, tp,ssps. ilret- - 1.1h:,,he gites it i,aP. 4 ap:mt:_pr-t bOu;dilidirli iii;o4.l4mitKiA,Al4,llo ll •1-101!igkyfY4V-111114- Onsittiolga,or We' linnfa silats then it We . ilies the 7 elo • • iitiiniatlfiAlir a, to the per:' fornlgnce - oi, - tik rnAr i r ii_lipituit AO *WerfigAiN ditiiite to a st ZYclutiW•edo f tliNriitfoir VPiRc efiPtl.x , ':fiitAik,re#4lpo,24. a -preivideby '4lll-.8VPM9f1144.01:44.-tto, plea lirotee: 4.9 l'i als 'I, .. 1 4.%944 4 /P ) 441%-f-0143reri.0 4 9 n iMpOrtart 'fight sec u red by the Cfonstitu tion-465.tiiiti.laioi4;' to" enact ' a idneral slave code:for the TerritOrii , s,' But Mr. Dbuglas is: not satisfied -With:, this: - In' order to stretigtlien-his-asSumption, and td annihilate me. Biichairarsconsit•uetion of the Nebraika bill still lore, he pro tceeds :." The Constitution being uniform eilerywhere Within the do inions of the United State's, being the s prome law of iithe•land, an} in: the' onstitution or laws of any .Of the States t the contrary nOtwithstandiog, why : ,dos not slavery exist in- Pennsylvania, just as well as in, Kansas or in South Carolina, by virtue of the same Constitution , iince Pennsyl-1 vania is subordinate to the Constitution' inl the same manner and tit the same ex- 1 tent as Saudi Carolina and Kansas?" 1 I r ilust so . . Mr. Douglas baiting been so , positive, lie gannet deny ii l s . the privilege' ofi making a few logical deductions froin his awn premises. We expect him to prineed in the following manner : "Since a slave is held under the laws of.a State, land not under the Cons stution or the (laws of the United States, slavery exists 'only by virtue of local law," or, as the lCourt of Appeals of Kentneky expressed it, " the right to hold a slave exists only • 1 by positive late p} a municipal character, and has no foundation in the .law of na ture, or the unwritten and common law." If slavery cannot exist except by virtue of loaallaw of a municipal character, it fol lows, as an irresistible consequence, that a alaveholder cannot holdja slave as prop erly in' a Territory where there is no local, lavi of a municipal character establishing that. right of property. I And, further, the right to, hold a slave hiving• nolo tn dation in the law..pf .nature, or the un written and cominpn law, we ' are forced a. to' the conclusion that 'slave, - I..rought by his owner upon the soil of h.• Teriitoil before the Territorial - Lect c •iMaturc have ~. anaoted laws:establishing slavery, be comei of necesSity, free, for there is no local law of a municipal , character under which he Might be held.as a slave. This piiinCipal is recognized by the decisions of several Sou ' thern courts. Ilavin ,, gone so I far , (and, indeed, I cannot see how a logical mind can escape these conclusions from Mr. Douglas's own premises,) Mr. Dbrights, would be obliged to define 'his pdpular sovereignty td be the 'right of the people of a Territory, represented, in the Territorial Legislature, to admit slavery b positive etiaCtinent, if they see fit,l bi 4 it being 70W - understood' that a slave hairier' has not the ,least shadow; of a right to take his slave property into Pie Territory before such pesitive legislation his been had. This definition would have at least the merit of logical consis tency.' ...- "But what does Mr. Douglas say ?--.- 7 "Slavery," so he tells us in his Harper: \l'article, "slavery being the Brea tore of local legislation, and - not of the COnstitution .of the United States, it fol loWs that the Consti6iltion does not es tablish _slavery in' the Territories beyond the power of the people to control. Why law. . - What ? • The . Constitution does, noT'istablish slavery in the .Territories beyond a certain sonilqthing I .What does th'at mean ? If slavery is - the creatiire'of local law, how can the Constitution, 'by its own force; !permit slaiery to lid iota a Territory, at ,all 2 - I . . , Here is a dark mystery—a to and we' may well take care , not • to fall'in toithe trap of some lOphistry...

Attempted ta befog his followers?), but we may.gather Mr. Donc , las'S real opinion froin.anotherl manifesto 'preceding. this. In his _Nes , t' Orleans 'speech, Aeliverektifter hii recent 1 !success in' Illinois, he defined-his position - in substance, .as follows: '"The Demecia.• ey.of Illinois hold that-a slaveholder has the-Santo right' tit take. his alaiii 'Felicity, tlto a Territory as -any other inan ' liasl take his horse, or his mercharthis l ei, cal What ?
